Daz Washing Powder: A standard price for an excellent performance

Advantages: Great scent, good cleaning powder, great price.
Disadvantages: None.

...I am staying at my Mums at present and Daz is the soap powder that she has currently purchased. The box is red, white & blue and stands out on the soap powder shelves as quite a recognisable product. The box has a handy pour spout which you just pull out of one side and this helps to pour the soap powder directly in to the washing machine drawer. The soap powder has a standard fresh, clean scent to it and nothing that I could put my finger on. The box states that it contains enough for 10 washes but my Mum says that she usually makes this last a good 15-20 washes as she rarely has soiled washing or even complete loads as for the most part she lives alone and just has her clothes & bedding to wash. I did not actually measure out a particular amount and just sprinkled it in to the drawer, I would definitely say that I used far less than 10...

Review of Daz Washing Powder

£1.64 for 3kg. Asda Smartprice Washing Powder is super smart!

Advantages: Cost effective and does the job!
Disadvantages: None in my opinion

...front and a green lid. The Asda logo, product description and a silhouette style image of laundry on a washing line are really all the pack front contains. Instructions for use, warnings, storage information and company details are to be found on the reverse of the pack. As with all Asda own label products, the Smartprice biological washing powder carries the Asda guarantee of 100% satisfaction or refund or replacement of the product. Unlike more expensive brands, the box does not have an integrated carry handle and the opening technique is a little crude, in as much as it is merely a pull tab which rips an opening across the front and sides of the packaging allowing access to the contents. No measuring device or scoop is included in the pack. This did not bother me in the slightest as being a thrifty person who hates throwing things...

Review of Asda Washing Powder

Vegetarian Washing Powder!

Advantages: Cheap, Vegetarian, Kind to Skin
Disadvantages: Not widely available

...a small revolution in the way we do our laundry! In the early 1920s Pilling discovered a chemical called Sodium Perborate, which helped to clean clothes without the hours of scrubbing on a washboard. Pilling initially produced this new washing powder in tablet form which you then grated into water at home. As with many successful businesses, Pilling set out manufacturing the tablets in his mother?s kitchen using a mixing bowl and spoon. He then demonstrated the use of his product to women at specially arranged meetings in church halls and schools in Bolton ? asking housewives to bring along their washing! He called the product Miracle Acdo as it saved the women considerable time and effort and I suppose in those days it was a revolutionary time saving product - before the days of washing machines and fizzy tablets! Acdo went...

Cyclon - Morrisons Non-Biological Washing Powder

Advantages: Great price, great quality, great smell
Disadvantages: None to hand

...about. The Morrisons washing powder was great for our sensitive skin! We had no rashes, itchiness - basically no reaction at all! The washing powder cleaned all of our clothes very well, including my fiances gardening clothes, which had grass and mud stains on them. It also cleaned my sons paint covered clothes well, and left my whites looking a nice bright white colour! The smell of the Washing powder on the clothes in nice too -it's not a strong in your face smell -but it is scented enough to give you that freshly washed sensation. I do however recommend using it with a fabric conditioner, as I am impartial to having really soft feeling clothes. All in all we found the quality of the Morrisons Non Biological Washing powder to be competitive against other brands - it is very reasonably priced and gives good value for money -also you...

A FAIRY GOOD WASHING POWDER

Advantages: Gentle on sensitive skin, leaves clothes clean and fresh
Disadvantages: Pricier than some other leading brands

...What can I say in this review that will make washing powder sound exciting? Nothing really, and that's the entire point. People simply want their washing powder to do exactly what it says on the packet - wash clothes clean, smell fresh, not irritate skin and not burn too big a hole in the pocket. Does Fairy washing powder come up to scratch on all these features? Let's find out... DOES IT CLEAN? ------------------------ In my experience, the answer to this question is yes. Myself and my partner own a Golden Retriever dog that is often covered in slobber, mud and various other smelly and messy concoctions. Invariably they usually end up being transferred onto my clothes by his over-enthusiastic hugs and shakes. He seems to know exactly when I am wearing light coloured clothes as I always seem to end up being covered in mud...

Review of Fairy Washing Powder

persil washing powder pleasant but not good for eczema

Advantages: long lasting smell
Disadvantages: harsh to skin even non-bio verson. too expensive

...on the few times i have used persil i loved the smell. the smell always seemed to last a good few days. unfortunately the product always started my eczema off at first i did not realise it was the washing powder but after a few times of use with other products inbetween i realised it was the problem. also my son who also has sensitive skin had a rash on his face which was were his clothes had been rubbing- tis cleared up when i stopped wasing his clothes in persil. the cleaning power is good- however i would not say it was anything special. i feel it it is also expensive compared to other non leading brands. i would not buy persil again as it is very harsh to sensitive skin and i feel it is too expensive....

Wash it Laundry ball

Advantages: Very kind to the skin
Disadvantages: not brilliant on all stains or whites

...I came across this ball by chance but since having my son diagnosed with eczema that was more sensitive to all soaps and detergents I have found it to be absolutely a godsend as I tried every conceivable product that professed to be gentle to skin and not irritate but too no avail as my sons eczema would not abate until I had washes everythin he wore approx twice using this Wash ball I found that after constant use on his clothes His skin improved and I did not have to resort to creams from the doctor at all and even was able to cut down on the homeopathic remedy prescribed for him. This ball is very good for every day washing BUT does not get all stains out and I found the best thing to do was to wash occasionally in a biological powder and then wash again two or three times to revmove the detergent residue or else use a stain...

Review of wash it laundry Ball

At last the powder Zanussi recommend

Advantages: Fresh smell , clothes exceptionally clean , goes a long way ,better for my machine
Disadvantages: More expensive than some , may be harsh on some fabrics

...************************** BACKGROUND ************************* Over nearly 34 years of married life I have used loads of different washing powders . Initially I had a twin - tub machine. At the time these were the bees knees and everybody used them . Looking back god were they a pain . We moved on like everyone else to an automatic machine and felt the shackles loosen a bit . Dramatic eh but sort of true. I have always swapped about with washing powders usually buying one from a reputable brand , but that was on the best pricing offer . Over the last few years I have found I cannot always use the cheapest . I don't know what they have added but lots of them make me itch . Particularly Surf or Daz . I had settled for Bold as I liked the smell . not a bad wash , good price and no itchiness . A few months ago my...

Washing Her Dirty Laundry In Public

Advantages: Great singer, brilliant songs, she sings in two languages
Disadvantages: Some slightly weaker tracks

...For Christmas this year I got the special edition of Shakira’s album ‘Laundry Service.’ It came in plush box case and underneath was the usual case you would see in the shop. I am not going to give you information on Shakira (like I did with Liberty X) as it is not really to do with the product. I would still buy her music, as long as I liked it, no matter what. So here are the details on each song from this album and my opinion of each of them. *Objection (Tango) This song is absolutely wicked. The music throughout is brilliant and the lyrics are interesting and amusing. Her Colombian voice and this music go together perfectly. There is humour in some of the words, such as: Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal, that’s why in front of your eyes I’m invisible! This is a very dancy tune, but not in...

Review of Laundry Service - Shakira

Great if you are washing clean clothes!

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: does not remove dirt

...Previously I have had great success in changing from my well known brand of washing powder down to a new cheaper brand but when this was not available I decided I would give the Value range box a go as other Value products I have tried have been pretty good. This one really was the exception. ~~THE BOX~~ The powder is very easy to recognise on the shelf, it comes in a big chunky white box which has the well know Value range logo on the top. There is a red band across the box which has the product name inside and below this is a picture of a clean light blue shirt. The back of the box is exactly the same and on the sides you can find the directions for use, amount needed for the laundry and the product details. ~~USE~~ Upon opening the box which can be done by pulling the cardboard tab which allows three sides of the lid to...
